Answer is no. Suppose it's true, then the derivative function must be continuous (since differentiable functions are continuous) but continuous functions require no "gaps" so it must include both rational and irrational numbers

OOPS, I meant to say the original function must be continuous, but yeah same thing. Gotta be politically correct especially in math analysis.
